A brief introduction of this project: I wanted to share with my friends, followers, and my community here in Lisbon and abroad, some amazing local businesses and brands that they can take into considerations to look for gifts for their beloved family spending Christmas here or their friends, family, and relatives abroad. You find a longer explanation in the first post of this series at this link.
The list is divided in categories to make it easier
- Babies
- Kids (different ages):
- Mama and Papa
- Portuguese specials
- Concept stores
- Christmas Decorations
- Conscious Christmas
- Italians in Lisbon
- Family Photographers
Here comes the second part of my list, you find the first part here.
